Invalid default value for 'create_date' timestamp field

Question

I have the following sql create statement

mysql> CREATE  TABLE IF NOT EXISTS `erp`.`je_menus` (
    ->   `id` INT(11) NOT NULL AUTO_INCREMENT ,
    -&g         


        

Answer 1

That is because of server SQL Mode - NO_ZERO_DATE.

From the reference: NO_ZERO_DATE - In strict mode, don't allow '0000-00-00' as a valid date. You can still insert zero dates with the IGNORE option. When not in strict mode, the date is accepted but a warning is generated.
